Misty Copeland Black History Project (2/21/25)
In the words of Pablo Picasso, “I am always doing things I can’t do, that’s how I get to do them.” This mindset is what got Misty Copeland to become a well-respected ballerina in an industry that did not approve of African American dancers.

In Honor of Afrobeats
Afrobeats have begun to rise in K-pop with many songs like “Tinnitus” by TOMORROW X TOGETHER, “Rover” by KAI, and “Super (손오공)” by SEVENTEEN.

K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 4
Continuing from where we left off last time: KiiiKiii: I first heard about their interesting and abnormal concept on YouTube. It gives me “girl next door” vibes. At first, I thought their concept wasn’t going to stand out much to me because it didn’t have a concrete theme, something I see often in 5th-generation K-popContinue reading “K-pop Groups That Hooked Me!

K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 3
Continuing from where we left off last time: POW: I really loved their song, “Dazzling”! Afterwards, I didn’t really hear much from them until they released their single “Valentine” and their mini-album Boyfriend. I later tuned in to their latest mini-album titled Being Tender.
